Chapter 018: First hit, then give a few sweet dates ()

"Swoosh!"

"puff!"

The last Tatar cavalry was very cunning and played hide-and-seek with Xu Xingxia. The opponent's war horse had good endurance. However, Xu Xingxia was light-fitted after all, and the war horse also had abundant physical strength. The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed. Finally, Xu Xingxia took the target with one arrow.

The black feather arrow passed through the back of the target and came out from his chest. Before his death, the Tatar cavalry looked back at Xu Xingxia with difficulty, as if he was unwilling to believe that he would die in Xu Xingxia's hands. Finally, he fell on the sand with unwillingness. This was already the Ulanbuhe Desert, with a large area of ​​dry yellow sand stained with blood.

"So he's a centurion!"

Xu Xingxia carefully checked and came to the conclusion.

The centurion of the Tatar cavalry is still very powerful. They are all warriors who have been through many battles, and have shot at least fifty people. The ordinary Ming cavalry is not their opponents at all. However, when encountering Xu Xingxia, it can only be said that he is unlucky. The black feather arrow can kill even a red deer weighing five or six hundred pounds in one shot, let alone a person?

"laugh!"

Xu Xingxia pulled out the black feather arrow.

These black feather arrows made of fine iron can be used after wiped away the blood. Xu Xingxia wiped the black feather arrows cleaned the body of the Tartar centurion and inserted them back into the quiver behind them. Then he began to slowly inspect the body of the Tartar centurion.

After careful inspection, Xu Xingxia looted more than fifty taels of silver and two small gold ingots on the Tartar centurion, each of which was about three taels, and I don’t know where it was stolen. After hiding the gold and silver, he knocked the body of the Tartar centurion horizontally onto the horse’s back.

Now Xu Xingxia has found a way for himself to protect himself, that is, to be promoted as soon as possible and become a high-ranking official as soon as possible. Only by becoming a high-ranking official and mastering more manpower, financial and material resources can he have the ability to fight against others, or influence others. Even if he cannot fight against Nurhaci for the time being, he must at least be able to fight against Wei Zhongxian and Li Zicheng. After all, he debuted earlier than the two of them and has more advantages.

Xu Xingxia calculated his military achievements and found that he had shot and killed twenty-three Tatar cavalry and promoted to two levels, which was no problem at all. As for the promotion to three levels, he seemed to have no such precedent. Above the general flag, he could not simply use the head of the Tatars to calculate military achievements. However, this did not matter much. As long as he could be promoted to the general flag, he would be very satisfied. The promotion and wealth would have to be done step by step. When he became the general flag, he would have more opportunities to establish military achievements.

After putting the body of the centurion of the Tatar cavalry, Xu Xingxia turned over the horse, grabbed the horse's belly, and slowly walked back. The bodies of the six Tatar cavalry behind him were also plundered by him, such as gold and silver, and then threw the bodies on the horse's back. The bodies of these Tatar cavalry, together with their equipment, weighed 150 or 60 kilograms, but were lifted up by Xu Xingxia in one hand, as if they were hay, and easily threw them on the horse's back.

Xu Xingxia plundered about eighty taels of silver in total from these six Tatar cavalry. The ones that were searched for were about one hundred and thirty taels. This can be regarded as a small fortune. There are also some jewelry and other things that cannot be estimated for the time being. In the past, the Tatar cavalry plundered others, but this time it was their turn to be robbed, which was also considered a turn of feng shui.

The six black feather arrows that shot and killed the six Tatar cavalry were also recycled by Xu Xingxia. These black feather arrows are still very useful at present. The blacksmith of Weizhen Fort may not be able to be built. In the end, Xu Xingxia came back alone with seven horses. The war horses were carrying their original owners. The only difference is that their owners were sitting, alive, and now they were lying, and dead.

"He's back!"

"Xu Xingxia is back!"

The others in Niujiaodun were cleaning the battlefield. When they saw Xu Xingxia coming back, they hurriedly came up to greet them. People, including Chen Hai, seemed very enthusiastic. Of course, if you observe carefully, there would be a little embarrassment in their enthusiasm. There was no way, their roles could not be completely changed for the time being.

People are like this, seeking profit and avoiding harm. Now they all realize that Xu Xingxia is no ordinary person anymore. Such people must not be right. On the contrary, following such people will definitely benefit. Fortunately, among the entire Niujiaodun defenders, except Liu Jinbiao, no one else and Xu Xingxia cannot resolve their hatred.

When Chen Hai saw the bodies of the seven Tatar cavalry brought back by Xu Xingxia, he knew that all the Tatar cavalry were shot and killed by Xu Xingxia. His desire to kill people with a knife was dashed, and his fear of Xu Xingxia was even deeper. He didn't want to be missed by Xu Xingxia. If someone could shoot twenty-three Tatar cavalry in one breath, and kill one of him, Chen Hai, wouldn't that be a piece of cake? He hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said to Xu Xingxia: "Xu Xingxia, you have made great contributions, and I will ask you heavily to reward me."

Xu Xingxia nodded, handed all seven war horses to Chen Hai, and then took back all sixteen black feather arrows from the other people, and then said lightly: "I didn't kill all the Tartars. As far as I know, I only killed seven Tartars, three of the Tartars, two of the Tartars, and two of the Tartars, and each of them killed two of them. All the other brothers killed one. Well, Liu Jinbiao was afraid of fighting with the Tartars, and was injured by self-harm. I suggest reporting to my superiors and punishing them severely. We don't want such people."

Everyone around was slightly stunned. They hadn't reacted for a while, and they stared at Xu Xingxia a little mutely, not understanding why he said that. It took a while before they realized what Xu Xingxia meant. Then, they all suddenly realized and looked at each other, laughing loudly in surprise.

Xu Xingxia said this, just to give them some military achievements. Except for Liu Jinbiao, everyone in Niujiaodun was not disappointed. For a moment, including Chen Hai, was full of gratitude to Xu Xingxia. The military achievements of killing the Tartars were heavy, and the rewards from the top were also quite generous. The most rare thing is that this is the supreme glory! In the entire Ningxia Town, how many people could cut the Tartars' heads?

Within the Ming army, there was a tradition of killing enemies and snatching the merits and striving for the first place. It was just that due to Xu Xingxia's cruelty, the Niujiaodun people, including Chen Hai, did not dare to do anything. They just took away the broken silver on the Tartars, but they did not dare to chop off the Tartars' heads, and they did not dare to take away the Tartars' war horses. In fact, these are the big heads of credit. Some broken silver is nothing more than nothing.

Now, with Xu Xingxia's permission, they immediately became excited. They waved their weapons one by one and poked them hard on the Tartars' corpse to prove that the Tartars were killed by themselves. Gao Meng and Zhang Quanfu were a little reserved when they started and felt embarrassed to ask Xu Xingxia for their contributions. However, later, the two finally couldn't stand the temptation of the two Tartar heads, and each picked up their weapons and went up to work hard.

As for Chen Hai, he had already carried his spear and stabbed the three Tartars corpses a few times, then cut off their heads, and then led three Tartar war horses over. These Tartar war horses had no other advantages, that is, they were very capable of running long distances, needed less forage, and had a low chance of illness. In a word, it was easy to raise and durable.

Soon, all the sixteen Tartars shot by Xu Xingxia came to their respective names. Except for Liu Jinbiao, each had at least one head. This made everyone present feel that Xu Xingxia was not only cruel, but also very revenge. He wanted to completely kill Liu Jinbiao. Needless to say, when the senior management arrived, Xu Xingxia would definitely mention Liu Jinbiao alone. His attitude just now was very clear and he would punish him severely.

Liu Jinbiao will never be able to turn over for eighteen years. This crime can be big or small. If it is not pursued, the law will not blame the public. But if it is pursued, it will not be too much to behead the head and search the house. The key is, is there anyone who defends you? However, in front of the head of the Tartars, who cares about Liu Jinbiao's life and death? Who will defend Liu Jinbiao? Even Chen Hai has completely forgotten Liu Jinbiao's existence.

Chen Hai was a little confused about why Xu Xingxia had to share his military achievements with others. If he had created the military achievements himself, he would never be able to divide them evenly. He felt that Xu Xingxia must have been too happy and a little lost. This boy named Xu was still a little young, not experienced enough, so he was so proud of this easily.

Of course, Chen Hai was most willing to get the heads of the three Tartars from Xu Xingxia. Now, he is most afraid that Xu Xingxia suddenly regrets and refuses to divide his military achievements. As for the beating just now, he completely forgot about the matter. He was beaten and replaced with the heads of the three Tartars, he was very happy.

In fact, Xu Xingxia has his own reasons for doing this. With seven Tartars in hand, it is enough to be promoted to the general flag. The remaining military achievements will not bring him much value. On the contrary, giving the military achievements to others can also gain their favor. After all, the defenders of Niujiaodun are a whole. In the future, he will be the most likely to lead the whole. From now on, he will be going to win people's hearts.

Xu Xingxia was almost certain that after he was promoted to the general flag, his superiors would have to guard Niujiaodune themselves. This was the most dangerous place and needed a powerful officer to guard it. Almost all the Tatar cavalry heading south had to pass by here. For Xu Xingxia, his wish was also to guard Niujiaodune, a strategic location. Because only by guarding here could he shoot more Tartars and establish more military achievements.

At the same time, many of his plans can only be carried out on Niujiao Dun. Although Niujiao Dun has only thirty people, in fact, the places such as Heishan Camp and Zhenyuan Pass are all within the control of Niujiao Dun. As long as they use these places, he can do it without hesitation. Giving Chen Hai the three Tartar heads is to transfer him away from Niujiao Dun as soon as possible so that he can take over. It is probably Chen Hai is willing to accept this.

If there is no accident, he will be the boss of Niujiaodun in the near future. Except for Chen Hai and Liu Jinbiao, everyone else will be his subordinates. In fact, from now on, Xu Xingxia can enter a new role. Giving a sweet date with a stick and giving both kindness and power is the way to control the subordinates. Killing Liu Jinbiao is a brutal stick. The head of the Tartars is sweet date.

There are only these people in Niujiaodun's defenders. He should not expect to change to a group of people with high awareness. Everyone's loyalty is 100. This is impossible. There are not many outstanding people in the entire Ningxia Town. Otherwise, the Tatar cavalry would not be so arrogant. Everything has to start slowly with these people.

Gao Meng patted Xu Xingxia's shoulder hard and said loudly: "Brother, it's so good! I'm so good! When you guard Niujiaodun, we Lao Gao will follow you! At that time, we Lao Gao will kill a few Tartars with real swords and guns!"

Xu Xingxia nodded slightly and said calmly: "Next time, I will not give up my military achievements to you. If you want to obtain military achievements, you have to work hard on your own."

Gao Meng kept saying: "That's right! That's right!"

"Da da da da!"

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the south.
